Argh meat left out of the fridge all night, do I need to bin it all?

[birthdaypityparty]

As title suggests. Two packs of chicken breasts, two packs of burgers and a pack of pork steaks. Out since 9ish last night on kitchen counter.

(Arrived in food delivery, I was halfway through putting away when DS woke up and I ended up falling asleep with him, woke up when DH came up to bed and just didn't think about the shopping/ assumed he'd have dealt with it .)

Do I need to chuck it all, or would cooking it all today work?

I would chuck it - it was very warm last night - sorry!

Yes i would chuck it. If it was cooked meat i would say it was fine, but not raw.

Give it a good sniff, if it's alright I'd cook it straight away. It was warm but not that hot. People managed over weekends before fridges.

I would eat it all, no problem. I'd probably cook the chicken first, as it's the highest risk of bacteria multiplying of what you have there. The burgers are fine (beef?) - have those whenever. I'd eat the pork in the next couple of days.
Before fridges people kept meat in a cool pantry for 2-3 days and mostly died of other things!

I would throw it

Give it a sniff, if it smells fine get it cooked.

If it had all been frozen solid when it was left, then I cook and eat (assuming it smelt fine), otherwise no, as its been so hot.

I'd sniff test everything before I binned it. If it passed (and be wary of all those meats) I'd either freeze it or cook it at once.

I used to live in a hot climate where the electricity was not reliable, and my DM was deeply thrifty, hence my attitude.

We’d eat it and have done in similar situations (if it smelt okay). Definitely use your nose. :)

I’d cook it today, I wouldn’t throw it away.

Cook it now. That's today's food sorted.

Cook it all.

It'll be absolutely fine. Like PPs have said just smell and check

It was really hot last night.
I left half a bowl of beans out and they had mould on them this morning!
I wouldn't risk it, especially chicken.

I wouldn’t risk it, especially as you have a young child to look after. I wouldn’t risk passing food poisoning to him.

I wouldn't bin any of it. I'd have a look at it and if it looked fine I'd use it, without worrying. I'm sure it'll be fine. Clearly I have low food standards.

I think no, but I'd def check it. For some reason I feel like the burgers would be alright but not the chicken

Cook it now, all of it. You'll know if it's off.

Its the chicken that would bother me the most but the stench of it cooking is unmistakable if it's off.

And I'd be having a stern word with husband for having no common sense and why does all the shit thinking fall to you.

No idea about meat (vegetarian) but I've been without a properly functioning fridge for 2 weeks now (looong story) and I've been amazed how long lots of stuff keeps.

I would probably cook it.

I would definitely bin it.

Bin it and I’m usually quite lax about this sort of stuff but the weather is too warm at the mo

Cook it and all freeze batches so you can reheat when you need it?

Bin it.
